12.5% alcohol by volume. First of the 2009 Beaujolais Cru wines I have opened. Deep purple color; nearly opaque. Viscous. Black fruits such as plum and blackberries. More juicy and fruity than I expected. May be prime drinking now for beguiling fruitiness. I'm not sure whether more cellaring would bring to the fore some depth and complexity or if this is as good as it is likely to get. I do hope for something more from some of my 2009 Beaujolais Cru purchases. I had this with smoked salmon, wild rice, and green beans and another evening with salisbury steak.
